I have worked on numerous projects over the years, ranging from 1 room to an entire house. One of the most important aspects of any painting job is the preparation work, which includes moving furniture out of the way. However, it's not uncommon for customers to assume that moving furniture is part of a painter's and decorator's job.
I would like to take this opportunity to explain why moving furniture to the center of a room is the customer's responsibility prior to painting taking place.
Firstly, moving furniture requires physical effort, and it can be time-consuming, especially if there are heavy items such as sofas, wardrobes, or bookshelves. A painter and decorator's job is to prepare surfaces, apply paint, and create a high-quality finish. Moving furniture is not part of this job description, and it can take away from the quality of the finished product if we are forced to rush through the moving process.
Secondly, moving furniture can be risky, and there's always a chance of damage to both the furniture and the property itself. Professional painters and decorators are trained to work safely and efficiently, but accidents can still happen. By moving furniture out of the way themselves, customers can ensure that their belongings are safe from harm and that the property remains in good condition.
Lastly, it's important to remember that a painter and decorator's time is valuable. We work on a tight schedule to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget. If we are required to move furniture as part of our job, it will take additional time, which can lead to delays and increased costs.
In conclusion, moving furniture to the center of a room is the customer's responsibility prior to painting taking place. By doing so, customers can ensure that their belongings are safe, the property is not damaged, and the painting job can be completed efficiently and to the highest standard possible. As a professional painter and decorator, I am always happy to provide advice and guidance to my customers to ensure that their painting projects run smoothly and without any unnecessary delays or issues.
